"Good food, fresh, hot, delicious. Best I've found in a long time."

- Hugh, Calgary (November 2025)

"Recently had a nice evening at this restaurant. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, and so helpful. We ordered Seafood with vegetables, Beef satay and lemon chicken. It was all good, but the beef Satay was tender and tasty. We had plenty of leftovers. The staff were so nice, checking in on us, providing 'to go' boxes, and even bringing a bag to carry all the boxes in. They also brought us a free piece of tiramisu cake. They have the combination dinners for 2, etc. Also have combination plates, where you can order a dinner for one for a reasonable price. This is handy, since most places want you to order dinner for two or more. Plenty of selection with the individual dinners. Chatted with the owner, recently moved to this strip mall from Okotoks. Parking is great, worth trying to find this place in a relatively new plaza. Come and support local, it's a nice little restaurant."

- John Markiw, Calgary (October 2025)

- Rick Buckner, Calgary (October 2025)

"Delicious war wonton soup! I will be back."

- Laurie Knutson, Calgary (November 2025)
